Midnight, antique street, Qingfangzhai.

Outside the window, the night was deep, the cicadas were silent, and the moonlight in the sky covered by clouds was clear, occasionally revealing a glimmer of light from the gap between the clouds, hazy, as if it had been soaked in ink, and the light was dim and difficult to identify.

The quiet room was lit with light and shadow, and a faint candle light was lit in the northeast corner of the hall, and the candle flame jumped and trembled, making a slight crackling sound, but no candle tears dropped.

On the side of the candlestick, there are several wooden cards, look closely, it is a seal engraved with the name of the spiritual position, and in the middle of these spiritual positions is placed a round color, crystal clear bracelet, the bracelet is dense, the jade pattern on it is complex, such as a little ink halo inlay, the end is an unbelievable object.

The dark room was quiet, and the atmosphere was mysterious and abnormal, as if the air was infected and solidified.

Knock, knock.

Suddenly, there was a sound of low footsteps in the hall, walking slowly and heavily, step by step towards the light.

Under the candlelight, an old face appeared, it was the shopkeeper of Qingfangzhai, Luo Dazhong.

Luo Dazhong walked to the front of the candle, sat down slowly, stretched out his hand to caress several spiritual positions on the table, and his eyes suddenly showed a burst of indulgence, and after a while, when the old hands lightly touched the brightly colored jade bracelet, his expression changed, and suddenly showed a look of relief and pity.

There was a faint trace of regret in that look, and a trace of unwillingness, his eyes changed several times, his face was complicated and inexplicable, and after a while, it finally turned into an inaudible sigh.

Luo Dazhong, who had been sitting upright for a long time, immersed in the memories of the past, finally got up slowly, walked to the window, and stretched out his hands to push open the wooden bed board.

As soon as the window opened, there was a surge of air, and the candle flame on the table jumped sharply, as if it would go out at any moment.

Luo Dazhong approached the window and looked into the distance, with a burst of light flowing in his eyes, as if he was exploring something.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, the fragrance of flowers in the wind was inexplicable, Luo Dazhong's eyes jumped, turned around, and the wind chimes by the eaves swayed, making bursts of Qingyue bells, jingling.

At the same time, several spiritual positions on the table seemed to be swept by a light breeze, knocking on the table, making a slight sound, and the jade bracelet in the middle suddenly burst into color, and the light suddenly brightened.

Seeing this, Luo Dazhong suddenly stepped forward, bowed to the ground, his voice was a little excited, and said in a trembling voice: "The old servant greets the eldest lady!"

After that, as soon as the waist is lowered, you will bow down.

It's just that as soon as Luo Dazhong lowered his head, he felt a gentle and extremely gentle force gently supporting his side and holding it on his waist, so that he could no longer bend his back and bow down.

Luo Dazhong's lips moved, and he was just about to say something, but a soft and pleasant voice sounded in his ears: "The old housekeeper doesn't have to be like this, Xiaoya is not an outsider, why do you need such a big gift?"

"Yes, yes, the old servant saved. Luo Dazhong's eyes were slightly hot, he was no longer persistent, and straightened up.

When I looked up, I saw a woman in white standing by the window, with long hair and a shawl, a slender figure, facing Luo Dazhong sideways, and a dress without wind.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, is the eldest lady okay?" Luo Dazhong looked at the woman by the window and said in a concerned voice.

The woman in white looked cold, her face warmed when she heard the words, and she said softly: "Old Luo has a heart, Xiao Yashang can take care of herself." ”

As soon as these words came out, it seemed to seduce Luo Dazhong's sad past, his face turned white, and he immediately blamed himself: "It's useless to blame me, I didn't listen to the master at the beginning, take the young lady away in time, otherwise, otherwise it won't be ......"

Speaking of this, Luo Dazhong was emotional, his tone was sad, and his face was miserable.

The woman in white sighed softly when she heard this, and said: "Luo Lao, why bother, if it weren't for you, Xiaoya would have already fallen into the netherworld and left in ignorance, how can I know that my Luo family has suffered such a big disaster, it turned out that it was not a natural or man-made disaster, but a ghost and a ghost?"

"It's that I'm useless, and the young lady who harmed me is now implicated in family hatred, and her soul is uneasy, and she can't go to reincarnation. ”

The woman in white showed a faint sadness on her face, shook her head, and said: "This is my own choice, but it is none of Luo Lao's business, if it weren't for Luo Lao's guidance, Xiao Ya would probably have already lost her soul, otherwise how could she keep this soul, and know the enemy!"

Hearing this, Luo Dazhong's expression was miserable again, his face was tight, and he just wanted to speak, but the woman in white smiled slightly, and asked instead: "Luo Lao's urgent summons, shouldn't it be for these old things?"

Luo Dazhong was stunned for a moment, remembered what was going on, and said, "Miss, this time, there have been a few strange things in the border city in the past two days. ”

"Oh?" the woman in white turned, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"Tonight, there are disciples of the Taoist lineage who have come to Qingfangzhai. Luo Dazhong did not make a superfluous description, and said directly.

"The descendants of the Dao lineage, they have not appeared for a long time, but now they are in the surrounding city, but why?" muttered to the woman in white, with a puzzled look on her face.

Luo Dazhong shook his head and said, "I'm also curious, that Dao Descendant is a woman, I don't know what sect it is, but judging from her glorious and restrained aura, it must be not weak in cultivation!"

The white-clothed woman's eyes flashed, and she asked, "Elder Luo may be able to see its realm?"

Luo Dazhong shook his head and said, "This woman has been to Qingfangzhai several times, and she only met with me tonight, I was worried that she was coming for Qingfangzhai, so I didn't dare to test her cultivation." ”

"Daoist heirs, cultivation is not low, could it be that they are coming to Qingyuan Temple?" The woman in white had deeper doubts in her eyes, and suddenly shook her head and said: "It's weirdly tight, Qingyuan Temple has been doing evil for many years, those self-proclaimed orthodox Taoist disciples should have come a long time ago if they wanted to make a move, why did they wait for decades for Shanshan to come here?"

Seeing that his young lady was in thought, Luo Dazhong hesitated slightly, and his words were a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should say another news.

Seeing Luo Dazhong like this, the woman in white showed puzzlement on her face and asked, "Luo Lao has other opinions on this matter?"

"No, eldest miss, I ......" Luo Dazhong hesitated for a while, and said, "Tonight, there is ...... A few young people came to the shop and peddled antiques......"

"Oh, so what?" the woman in white raised her eyebrows, revealing a hint of strangeness.

"There's something special!"

"What could make Luo Lao lose his temper like this?"

Luo Dazhong's voice sank, and he said: "A copper tripod incense burner, a merit furnace with a weak incense power!"

"What?" The woman in white's face changed, her tone suddenly became nervous, and she asked, "You read that right?"

"It's true! I also confirmed that the faint power of incense merit in the furnace will not be dispersed, and it seems that there is some cause and effect involved, so that it can be preserved to this day!"

The woman in white turned around and asked nervously, "Where is the copper furnace now?"

Luo Dazhong sighed and said, "It was obtained by the descendant of that Dao. ”

The woman in white raised her eyebrows, her eyebrows were clenched, her expression changed several times, and she said resolutely: "No, this merit furnace must be obtained, the city god has closed the temple for a hundred years, I want to enter the underworld to redress my grievances, and it is difficult to settle with hatred, now there is incense merit in the world, and there must be a Yin God patrol near the left, I have waited for a hundred years, but this time I must not miss it!"

"But, eldest lady, the ghost king of Qingyuan Temple, Lisheng......"

"Luo Lao!" the woman in white spoke in a sad tone, her beautiful eyes were faintly filled with tears, and she interrupted Luo Dazhong who dissuaded her.

Her voice was clear, revealing a heavy air of grievance, and she slowly complained: "The Luo family shouted at hundreds of unjust souls night and night, and I can hear and see that they are all suffering underground all day long, wailing in pain......

As if remembering those miserable pictures, her body seemed to tremble slightly, and her tone became more and more low: "Those deceased villagers He Gu! The countless unjust souls of Qingyuan Temple are not Gu! I only hate me Luo Ya herself is difficult to protect, and now she has only become a lonely soul and a wild ghost, and she can't fight the enemy for the villagers!"

"Miss, don't say it, don't say it!"

When Luo Dazhong heard Luo Ya's words, he suddenly knelt on the ground, and said excitedly: "The old servant only hates that he is not good at learning, and he has not been able to cultivate the superior Dao method, and he can't get rid of the evil ghost of Li Sheng. In the past hundred years, the old servant has not wanted to avenge his deceased relatives and friends, and now that the eldest lady has decided to do it, I am willing to take this important responsibility and obtain the incense burner for the eldest lady. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his head slightly, his eyes revealed a trace of unbearability, and sighed: "The old servant only feels sorry for Miss, Fanghua was killed by gangsters when she was young, she was full of places, and she suffered a great disaster, and now she has turned into a lonely soul, but she still has to bear this burden......"

"Heaven is unfair, Miss doesn't know what sins she committed in her previous life, and she ended up like this in this life, this cycle of cause and effect really shouldn't be!"

Luo Dazhong was emotional, and there was a trace of unwilling resentment on his withered face.

The woman in white looked gloomy when she heard this, and sighed silently: "It's only to blame Xiao Ya's life for being like this, but who is to blame!"

After speaking, he shook his head first, turned around and asked, "The person who sent the incense burner, does Luo Lao have a clue?"

Luo Dazhong nodded and said, "Yes, I did something to that person. ”

After speaking, he took out a calculator-like thing from his bosom and said, "I was afraid that I would be seen by the Dao Descendant, so I didn't dare to leave a breath, so I stuffed a tracker on one of the people who came." ”

The woman in white was stunned for a moment, smiled distractedly, rolled up the sleeves of her robe, took the locator, and then nodded to Luo Dazhong, and instructed: "Luo Lao pay attention to the movements of the Taoist lineage, be careful in everything, and don't do it reluctantly, as for the merit incense burner, I will investigate it first." ”

After speaking, it turned into a burst of white light, swept out of the window, and fled far away, leaving only Luo Dazhong, whose eyes were full of worry.
